or a lot of kids in the Bay Area, nature and the environment seem like distant things that just aren't relevant in their busy lives. Slide Ranch, located on the dramatic Marin coast, offers a unique experience in outdoors.

Spend the day in the organic garden, milk a goat and visit the chickens. Kids connect with nature and learn about the growing of healthy food and their interdependence in the environment.

You are invited to join Slide Ranch in the city to hear the inspiration of Author Richard Louv on the first evening of The Growing Greener School Grounds Conference on Friday, October 10th. Click on book for more details:
